This is very helpful. Did you do any benchmarking for retention? Do you know what the convention is for counting part-time versus full-time, interns, student employees, etc.? Voluntary versus involuntary turnover?
We did some light googling and also got some data from other EA orgs. Retention varies a lot by industry, but broadly I think our retention rates are now comparable or a bit better than the relevant average.

Not sure what the convention is, but we looked at full-time employees.
Voluntary versus involuntary turnover?
Again, not sure what the convention is, but we’re including both. I think that voluntary turnover is also a mildly negative sign (of bad hiring or training).
